Featured Reviews for Builders in Ferndown, Dorset

Proctor Watts Cole Rutter
Builders in Ferndown, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 October 2013
“We had an interesting challenge in wanting to create more space from a dark courtyard, with little access for building works, and to incorporate a wet room and utility area, as well as a second reception room. Geoff Cole of PWCR managed to find a creative solution that gave us a light filled modern area, creating a new space and reusing the existing victorian outbuilding, and adding in the features we wanted, like a living sedum roof, circular skylight, water capture system, and perhaps the most peculiar requirement - a cat tunnel... The design that Geoff proposed, and which we went ahead with addressed all our needs, and we now have a fabulous new space and outside landscaping. Throughout the process, we were kept fully up to date with regular project meetings, minutes and site visits. Any queries were dealt with quickly, and Geoff was on hand as required. He also worked with us to find the best builders for the job, with local experience, and who were flexible with the access challenges. Overall, we've been exceptionally pleased with the end result, and would recommend Geoff and his team, particularly for anyone who has an odd shaped, inaccessible piece of land that they have grand designs for - he won't bat an eyelid, but will deliver!”

“Lisa helped us with the refurbishment of a 2 bedroom Flat. Not only she brought a unique and expert angle on how to optimise the space but was very considerate and took on board the things we felt strongly about. She went above and beyond to get the project done right for us and I could not be any more grateful. The end result is stunning and was all done on a very high quality and in a very good time frame. I would not hesitate to use her expertise again should we need it. Thank you Lisa!”

“We had completed significant refurbishments before but with structural work involved this time, we decided to involve an architect. We are very glad we did, and feel lucky to have found Ralph Kent just as he was setting up his own practice. He provided a disciplined , practical and at the same time creative environment and consistently and tactfully turned our wilder ideas into practical solutions. He kept focus on the bigger picture as well as the detail. Above all he kept an eye on the technical aspects, dealt much more calmly and effectively with the builders than we would ever have managed. And by seeing difficulties before they arose as problems undoubtedly saved us money overall. We would certainly recommend him.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Ferndown:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Ferndown that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
